Chapter 045: Argument and Finally Wish
Xiuniang was about to step forward to give a salute, but Guo Xiang snorted directly: "Come in, girl." β
Entering the guest hall, he sat on the main seat with a golden sword, and Xu sat on the side.
Xiuniang came in, but she didn't dare to sit, so she could only stand with her hands down.
Guo Xiao looked her up and down, and suddenly smiled:
"Xiu girl, you have indeed grown up, but this courage has also become a lot bigger, you have to force the old man to throw away a lot of important government affairs and come to Zhuyuan in person, can you be guilty?"
Xiuniang hurriedly knelt down on her knees and kowtowed to Guo Xiang three times very respectfully, "Grandpa is above, if Xiu'er makes your old man angry, it is disobedient and unfilial, please forgive grandpa, but there is a reason for it, do you allow your granddaughter to come?" β
"Okay, the old man will allow you to argue, get up and speak! If you can explain me in court, the old man will follow you, otherwise, you have to honestly accept the royal appointment letter and dowry, learn more court etiquette and rules, and choose an auspicious day for the zodiac at the end of the year to marry the Han Palace! β
Guo Xiang has always been domineering in his speech, and he has always said the same, and he has no room for negotiation.
His visit this time was an ultimatum.
"Granddaughter thanked grandpa!" Xiuniang got up and said eloquently:
"Six years ago, my whole family was murdered by the Turks outside Yanmen Pass, and everyone in the world knows about it. Now, I have lost and regained, has no one thought about who I was saved by and how I have earned a living all these years? β
"Father Linghu has saved me twice, and died because of saving me, the grace is like a mountain, if this great grace and virtue Xiu'er can't reciprocate, how can he be at ease? Now that his only son is still in the world, can't our Guo family do something for it? β
"Treating the son of a benefactor as a righteous grandson just shows that the Guo family knows that kindness will be repaid, and it should be praised by the world, so why should it be ridiculed?"
Of course, she didn't mention the topic of child daughter-in-law and the like, ruining the old man's interest, but went straight to Ende.
Guo Xiao frowned slightly, listening to Xiuniang's statement very seriously.
Obviously, Xiuniang's statement greatly surprised him, and he thought she was repeating the same old tune.
Because the report Xu gave him was the order of his parents, the words of the media, and the parents of both sides were pro-Yunyun at the beginning.
Speaking of kindness, that's a different story.
"Girl, Linghu's father's great kindness, of course our Guo family has to report, I have ordered your sixth uncle to send someone to relocate the tomb of your adoptive parents, build an ancestral hall, and send people to worship every year, and the incense is continuous."
"As for Ling Hupo, I heard that this guy is addicted to gambling and has abused you before, he can't support the wall with mud, so let him mix in the army, have military merits, and be promoted according to the rules, if not, the Guo family will pay for him to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law, can you?"
Guo Xiang seemed to have thought about it for a long time, so he blurted out.
"In Xiu'er's opinion, moving graves to build ancestral halls, paying money to buy a house to marry, ordinary scholars, or wealthy merchant families, can do it, save people's lives, and win the seventh-level floating slaughter! The best gift in the world is identity, status and career, so that Linghu's vein can glorify his ancestors from now on, and these are what the Guo family can do. β
Unexpectedly, Xiuniang could think so far-reaching, which was much beyond Guo Xiang's imagination.
Because in his cognition, his granddaughter Xiuniang is still a child.
But she is talking about etiquette, and in turn forcing her elders to comply.
This girl is kind of interesting.
"Girl, have you thought about it, there are many ways to repay your kindness, Daddy Linghu saved you, he is your adoptive father, our Guo family will give him up, and it is reasonable to say that it is reasonable to be able to make it public."
"But letting the old man recognize this as Linghu Po's righteous grandson has nothing to do with repaying his kindness, unless he performs well enough, it is possible to consider it."
Guo Xiang has shown great patience to explain the matter to Xiuniang.
"Grandpa! Linghu Po fought the wolves alone, defeated two Turkic warriors in a row, just heard that this time he was at the border, and he was awarded military merits, does this mean that he is not good enough, outstanding? Xiuniang was bold and argued.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu, who had been watching coldly, couldn't help but interject and angrily reprimanded:
"Bold show! Old man, this girl has always been unforgettable for the little Orion, and it doesn't matter if she recognizes her righteous brother, she has to publicly let you recognize her righteous grandson, which is very dangerous! For hundreds of years, our Guo family has never recognized the precedent of righteous sons and grandchildren, if this is a precedent, what will the descendants of the family think? β
Xu's meaning is that if you have a lot of concubines, you will have countless concubines, it is not enough, and if you have to recognize a poor grandson, wouldn't it become a laughing stock for others.
Obedient and listening, can Guo Xiaoyan understand?
But he didn't think so, who let them all not grow?
He focused on Xu's wording in the first half.
I saw Guo Xiao glaring at Xu Shi with a stunned look, and said in a low voice:
"Shut up! The unforgettable words of old love actually came out of your mouth? The old man has already confessed, and no one is allowed to mention this matter again, have you forgotten it first?! β
This low shout frightened Xu's face greatly, and he didn't dare to say anything more, staring at Xiuniang with his eyes, and his anger was self-evident.
"That's it, girl, grandpa can promise first, if Linghu Po can make another great contribution before the end of the year, the old man can let him enter Beijing immediately, attend the wedding in the name of your brother-in-law, and then choose a day, and then the old man will publicly announce that he recognizes him as his grandson, and feast relatives and friends."
Guo Xiang finally agreed.
"Thank you grandpa for fulfilling his granddaughter's power and gratitude, Xiu'er is very grateful,
Acting for the fox family to thank you. β
Xiuniang stood up and bowed.
"Okay girl, this matter is settled, you have to learn more court etiquette in the near future, rest more and nourish your mind, and make all the preparations for Princess Han." Guo Xiang raised his hand.
"Xiu'er obeys orders."
"Go back." Guo Xiang got up and strode out of the bamboo garden.
At this moment, he does have many important things to do in the palace.
Xu was a little disgraced.
The taste was so sour that it would undermine her authority in the courtyard.
Looking at the back of Guo Xiang and the others leaving the bamboo garden, Xiuniang also breathed a sigh of relief.
She finally won the opportunity to rank among the scholars for Linghu Po, and she could also comfort Linghu Daddy under Jiuquan.
She didn't ignore Da Lang, and she will always be in charge of it in the future.
But for Ling Hupo, Xiuniang's series of care is not only a blessing, sometimes a disaster.
It is estimated that Guo Xiuniang never expected this, after all, she is too young and naΓ―ve.
Of course, that's all for later.
β¦β¦
July day, hot summer day.
The sergeants like winter training and are afraid of summer training.
If you sweat too much in the scorching heat, you will collapse.
Han Mingda, who is now a hot figure in the Mayi General's Mansion, guards the military intelligence of Gongcao and the Mayi Barracks to join the army.
Joining the army is equivalent to a staff officer in the army of later generations.
On this day, Linghupo officially left the Panlong New Battalion and went to report to the Mayi Barracks.
